Microforming Processes

Abstract

With the global trend of product miniaturization, the market demands for microparts are increasing tremendously and state-of-the-art micromanufacturing processes for fabrication of microparts thus become critical. Microforming, as one of the micromanufacuring processes, provides a promising approach to fabricating metallic microparts, such as connector pin, miniature screw, microgear, microshaft, chip leadframe, and IC-socket.
